New program equips entrepreneurs with access to funding, AI-powered systems, automations, and scalable strategies to compete in today’s digital economy
Nationwide — As Black entrepreneurship continues to rise at record levels, a critical barrier to long-term business success remains largely overlooked: access to marketing capital.
David Hebb, Founder and CEO of Click Dream Marketing, has announced the launch of a new initiative designed to help startup entrepreneurs and small business owners—particularly within underserved communities—gain access to the funding, tools, systems, and strategies required to generate consistent visibility, attract customers, and scale sustainably.
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, Black entrepreneurs now own more than 3.5 million businesses and employ over 1.2 million people nationwide, reflecting steady growth and increasing economic impact. However, despite this progress, many still face significant challenges in scaling due to limited access to capital, infrastructure, and strategic marketing resources.
Research from McKinsey & Company highlights that Black entrepreneurs typically start businesses with significantly less capital—approximately $35,000 compared to $107,000 for white entrepreneurs—creating a gap that extends beyond funding into growth and sustainability.
“Access to funding is only part of the equation,” said David Hebb, founder of Click Dream Marketing. “What many entrepreneurs truly lack is the marketing engine—the systems, automation, and strategy that consistently bring in customers. Without that, funding runs out, and businesses struggle to survive.”
Founder Spotlight: From Inconsistent Sales to Predictable Revenue
For David Hebb, founder of several growing Black-owned brands and author of the books The Entrepreneurial Mindset and Digital Dominance, the early stages of entrepreneurship were filled with uncertainty. “I had a great product, and people loved it, but I didn’t know how to reach more customers consistently,” Hebb said. “Some weeks I’d make sales, other weeks it was completely quiet. It felt like I was constantly starting over.”
Despite investing time into social media and experimenting with ads, Hebb struggled to build a reliable system that could generate a steady income.
After a strategic partnership with Umbrella Marketing, a larger, highly reviewed, and successful marketing agency, his business implemented a full marketing infrastructure, including lead capture funnels, automated email sequences, and targeted digital campaigns designed to convert and nurture customers.
Within just 90 days, Hebb saw transformative results:
• A 278% increase in qualified leads
• Consistent weekly sales driven by automated systems
• A fully integrated CRM platform to track and nurture customer relationships
“Before, I was guessing my way through marketing,” Hebb explained. “Now I have a real system. I wake up to leads and sales coming in—and for the first time, I feel like I’m running a business that can actually grow, so now I teach these frameworks to my community, and in many cases, I build it for them.”
Click Dream Marketing is reframing the growth conversation by introducing the concept of “marketing capital”—the combination of capital, systems, strategy, automation, and digital infrastructure required to drive predictable revenue.
The initiative provides entrepreneurs with access to:
• Business consultations and high-powered marketing technologies
• Financing capital up to 400k
• Done-for-you marketing systems tailored for small businesses
• CRM setup and automation for lead generation and follow-up
• AI-powered customer acquisition strategies
• Scalable digital campaigns designed for long-term growth
According to McKinsey, closing the gap for Black-owned businesses could unlock up to $290 billion in additional economic value, reinforcing the need for scalable infrastructure, not just startup funding.
“We’re not just offering marketing services; we’re providing access to a new form of capital,” Hebb added. “In today’s digital economy, visibility is currency. The businesses that win are the ones with systems that work even when they’re not online, and of course, have access to the funding they need to launch successfully.”
This initiative is part of a broader mission to bridge the gap between launching a business and building a scalable, revenue-generating brand. By combining access to capital, AI, and proven marketing frameworks, Click Dream Marketing aims to empower a new generation of entrepreneurs to move beyond survival mode and into sustainable growth.
